Bipolar disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Salem, OR

Life’s challenges can feel overwhelming at any stage—whether you’re navigating adolescence, adulthood, relationships, parenting, or the transitions that come with aging. Anxiety, depression, grief, and life changes can disrupt how you think, feel, and connect with others. Therapy offers a supportive place to slow down, feel understood, and develop effective tools to move forward with greater clarity, balance, and confidence.

Who I Work With

I work with individuals across the lifespan, including:

• Teenagers and young adults
• Adults experiencing anxiety, depression, or life transitions
• Women and single mothers
• Men facing male-specific challenges
• Older adults navigating aging-related concerns

I also work with couples, parents, and business partners, helping strengthen communication, emotional understanding, and connection.

Hi, I'm Lauren Brown — a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 5 years of experience providing compassionate, individualized care across the lifespan. I earned my Master of Science in Nursing from Vanderbilt University and have worked in diverse settings including Nationwide Children's Hospital, federally qualified health centers, and private practice. I'm licensed in Oregon.

My practice focuses on helping children, adolescents, and adults navigate challenges like ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. I have a special interest in supporting high-achieving women and girls managing ADHD, burnout, perfectionism, and emotional overwhelm — often while juggling demanding careers, family responsibilities, or academic pressures. I also work closely with individuals on the autism spectrum and their families, offering neurodivergent-affirming care that honors how your brain works.

I believe medication management work best when they're collaborative, not prescriptive. My approach blends evidence-based psychiatric treatment with practical lifestyle strategies, psychoeducation, and a genuine commitment to understanding your unique story. Whether you're a parent seeking support for your child, a professional struggling with burnout, or someone who's felt misunderstood by the healthcare system, my goal is to help you feel seen, validated, and empowered.

I specialize in long-term, relationship-centered care — meaning I'm here not just to manage symptoms, but to walk alongside you through growth, setbacks, and healing. I integrate neuroscience, trauma-informed principles, and real-world coping tools into treatment, and I offer parent coaching and family support when helpful.

Outside of clinical work, I'm passionate about creating a practice environment that feels safe, judgment-free, and human. I know how hard it can be to ask for help, and I'm honored you're considering taking that step.

Extensive background and highly skilled in working with individuals who have experienced trauma, anxiety, depression. Expertise in family systems, generational trauma and its impact, healing attachment disruptions, healing shame, trauma-informed, and interpersonal trauma recovery.

I believe that the healing space happens when someone feels safe, seen, and respected. My approach is warm, direct, and grounded, while also being able to challenge and empower my clients. I bring both clinical and real-world understanding into sessions. So, whether you are feeling stuck, over-whelmed, or just ready for a change, we will move at a pace that not only honors you, but provides you with the tools you will need to continue on your personal healing journey.

Welcome! I'm Dr. Ben Osevwe, a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) and board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with more than 22 years of experience in mental health care, including over 4.5 years as a PMHNP. I founded Solid Foundation Psychiatry with one mission: to provide compassionate, evidence-based, and personalized psychiatric care that empowers individuals to live healthier, more fulfilling lives.

I work with adolescents and adults ages 12 through 90, providing comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and supportive psychotherapy. I believe that effective mental health treatment goes beyond prescribing medication. Every visit is an opportunity to listen, educate, collaborate, and develop a treatment plan that reflects your unique goals, values, and life circumstances.

My clinical interests include ADHD, depression, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, autism spectrum disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), insomnia, mood disorders, and other psychiatric conditions. Whether you're seeking help for the first time or have struggled with symptoms for years, I strive to create a safe, respectful, and judgment-free environment where you feel comfortable sharing your concerns.

I provide both in-person psychiatric care in Pearland, Texas, serving the greater Houston area, and telepsychiatry to patients in states where I am licensed. My approach combines evidence-based medication management with psychotherapy and lifestyle recommendations.

My philosophy is simple: Every person deserves to be heard, treated with dignity, and given the tools to thrive. I believe healing begins with a trusting relationship, open communication, and a treatment plan tailored to your individual needs.

It is a privilege to be part of your mental health journey, and I look forward to partnering with you to help you build resilience, restore hope, and achieve lasting emotional wellness.

Prisca Oketch, APRN, PMHNP-BC, with over 17 years of dedicated clinical experience, specializes in comprehensive mental health treatment. I combine evidence-based psychiatric care with compassionate listening, creating personalized treatment plans that address each patient's unique needs. I am accepting new patients of all ages, from children to adults, both for cash pay and insurance with same-day availability.

Hi there-may name is Fiona Standen and I am a psychotherapist, practicing since 2001 and specializing in Autism Spectrum Disorder.

As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP), I believe every person deserves to be heard, understood, and treated as more than a diagnosis. I take the time to understand the whole person, considering the biological, psychological, social, and lifestyle factors that influence mental health. I provide compassionate, evidence-based care for children, adolescents, adults, and older adults, creating personalized treatment plans that support lasting wellness. My goal is to help you feel supported, empowered, and confident throughout your mental health journey.

I specialize in working with individuals across all mental health conditions, with a particular focus on anxiety, depression, anger and irritability, and feelings of frustration or helplessness. My greatest strengths are empathy, strong clinical judgment, and effective communication — qualities that allow me to build genuine therapeutic relationships and develop collaborative treatment plans tailored to each person's unique needs. I am deeply passionate about mental health because I believe every individual deserves the opportunity to improve their quality of life, build resilience, and experience meaningful recovery. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family and getting out to explore and shop — life's simple pleasures that remind me of the importance of balance and joy.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with over a decade of experience in mental health care, supporting individuals across inpatient and outpatient settings. Through my work, I have cared for clients with a wide range of needs, including chronic and severe mental health conditions, and I understand how overwhelming it can feel to navigate symptoms while trying to maintain daily life.

My care philosophy is centered on partnership. Treatment is not about taking over your care, but about working with you to explore your symptoms, goals, and values. Together, we develop a treatment plan that feels respectful, personalized, and empowering. If you have concerns or hesitations about medication, we will discuss all available options openly and thoughtfully, moving at a pace that feels right for you.

I work with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, OCD, and other mood and thought-related conditions. During the initial session, we focus on understanding your concerns, reviewing your history, and identifying practical steps toward improvement. Care may include psychiatric evaluation, medication management when appropriate, brief psychotherapy, education, and ongoing support.

I believe mental health care should feel supportive, clear, and collaborative—not rushed or overwhelming.

You do not have to face these challenges alone. My role is to help you reduce symptoms, strengthen coping skills, and regain balance so you can function at your best and move forward with confidence and stability.
